1 DevOps Culture, Git & Linux Fundamentals 1 wk ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. DevOps Principles & the CALMS Framework Culture, Automation, Lean, Measurement and Sharing, and why "DevOps is a tool you install" is the first wrong idea to unlearn.
2. Git Branching & Workflows at Scale Trunk-based development, feature branches, rebasing vs. merging, and resolving the conflicts a solo tutorial never shows you.
3. Linux Administration for DevOps Engineers Process management, systemd, file permissions, networking basics and package management on the distros teams actually run in production.
4. Shell Scripting for Automation Writing Bash scripts that other engineers can read and safely re-run, not one-off one-liners that break on the next input.
4.1) Why this module exists Every tool taught after this one assumes comfortable Git and Linux — skipping this is why "I learned Kubernetes" candidates still stall on a live terminal round.
2 Docker Deep Dive 1.5 wks ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. Multi-Stage Builds Cutting a 1.2GB image down to a lean production image by separating build-time and run-time layers.
2. Image Optimization & Security Scanning Layer caching, minimal base images (distroless/alpine) and scanning images for known CVEs before they ship.
3. Docker Compose for Local Development Wiring up a multi-container app (API, database, cache) so a new teammate is productive in one command.
4. Container Networking & Storage Bridge networks, volumes vs. bind mounts, and why "it worked on my machine" is usually a networking or storage assumption.
4.1) Real-world starting point Most engineers meet Docker as a black box that "just runs the app." This module is built around debugging a container that won't start, which is the actual day-one skill.
3 Kubernetes Core Concepts 1.5 wks ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. Pods, Deployments & Services The core objects, how a Deployment manages ReplicaSets, and exposing a workload inside and outside the cluster.
2. ConfigMaps & Secrets Externalizing configuration and sensitive values from container images the right way, and the ways teams still get this wrong.
3. Namespaces & Resource Organization Isolating teams and environments on a shared cluster without stepping on each other's workloads.
4. Scheduling & Resource Requests/Limits How the scheduler places pods, and why an app with no resource limits set is a production incident waiting to happen.
5. Health Checks & Probes Liveness, readiness and startup probes, and the difference between "the container is running" and "the container is actually healthy."
6. 🚀 Mock Interview Checkpoint Kubernetes core: explain a Deployment's rollout, debug a CrashLoopBackOff, and "why is this pod not receiving traffic" live troubleshooting.
4 Comprehensive Interview Preparation & Career Launch 0.5 wk ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. DevOps/SRE/Platform Engineer Interview Question Bank Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC and observability questions asked in real interviews, reviewed and explained.
2. Resume & LinkedIn Building for DevOps/SRE/Platform Roles Framing infrastructure and reliability work the way a hiring manager actually scans a resume.
3. Live Mock Interviews with Feedback Recorded, one-on-one mock interviews with a working DevOps/SRE engineer, with specific, actionable feedback.
4. "Debug This Production Incident Live" Round Practising the exact live-troubleshooting question that separates candidates who've memorized commands from those who can actually reason under pressure.
5. Salary Negotiation & Offer Evaluation Reading an offer letter and negotiating from an informed position.
6. Placement Assistance Referrals and interview opportunities where available, resume review, and continued mentor access after the course ends. Placement assistance is support, not a guarantee of a job or a specific salary — see full terms.
7. 🚀 Final Mock Interview A full-length, role-realistic DevOps/SRE/Platform Engineer interview, end to end.

4 Advanced Kubernetes 1.5 wks ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. Helm Charts Templating and packaging Kubernetes manifests so an app ships the same way across dev, staging and production.
2. Kubernetes Operators What an Operator is, the controller pattern behind it, and why teams reach for one instead of a pile of custom scripts.
3. Autoscaling HPA, VPA and the Cluster Autoscaler working together so a workload scales with real demand instead of a guessed replica count.
4. StatefulSets Running stateful workloads (databases, queues) on Kubernetes correctly, with stable network identity and ordered rollout.
5. Ingress Controllers Routing external traffic into the cluster, TLS termination, and path- and host-based routing rules.
5.1) Why this module exists This is the gap between "I deployed an app to Kubernetes once" and "I run production workloads on Kubernetes" — the line hiring managers actually probe for.
5 Comprehensive Interview Preparation & Career Launch 1 wk ▾

3 CI/CD Pipeline Engineering & GitOps 2 wks ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. Building CI/CD Pipelines Structuring build, test and deploy stages in GitLab CI or Jenkins so a pipeline fails fast and fails clearly.
2. GitOps with ArgoCD & Flux Git as the single source of truth for what's running in a cluster, and reconciling drift automatically instead of by hand.
3. Progressive Delivery Canary and blue-green rollouts with Argo Rollouts, and shipping a risky change to 5% of traffic before it reaches everyone.
4. Pipeline Security & Secrets in CI Keeping credentials out of pipeline logs and source control while still letting a pipeline deploy on its own.
4.1) Real-world starting point Most tutorials stop at "push to deploy." Real pipelines are judged on how safely they roll back, which is what this module is actually built around.
4 Infrastructure as Code (Multi-Cloud) 1.5 wks ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. Terraform Fundamentals for Multi-Cloud Provisioning Providers, state, and writing infrastructure definitions that aren't tied to one cloud's console.
2. Terraform Modules & Workspaces Reusable, parameterized infrastructure and managing multiple environments from the same codebase without copy-paste drift.
3. Packer for Image Building Building consistent, versioned machine and container images as part of the same IaC pipeline.
4. IaC Testing & Validation Linting, plan review and policy checks that catch a destructive change before `terraform apply` runs it.
4.1) Why this module exists This is deliberately cloud-agnostic Terraform practice — provisioning patterns and module design that transfer whether the target is AWS, Azure, GCP or on-prem, not a single cloud's service walkthrough.
5 Comprehensive Interview Preparation & Career Launch 1 wk ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. DevOps/SRE/Platform Engineer Interview Question Bank Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC and observability questions asked in real interviews, reviewed and explained.
2. Resume & LinkedIn Building for DevOps/SRE/Platform Roles Framing infrastructure and reliability work the way a hiring manager actually scans a resume.

7. 🚀 Final Mock Interview A full-length, role-realistic DevOps/SRE/Platform Engineer interview, end to end.
1 Observability & Monitoring 1.5 wks ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. Prometheus & Grafana Metrics collection, PromQL queries, and building dashboards that answer a question instead of just showing numbers.
2. The ELK/EFK Stack for Logging Centralizing logs from every service so "grep the server" is never the debugging strategy again.
3. Distributed Tracing with OpenTelemetry Following one request across a dozen microservices to find which hop actually added the latency.
4. Building Actionable Dashboards & Alerts Alerting on symptoms users feel, not on every metric that can technically fire, to avoid the alert fatigue that trains engineers to ignore pages.
4.1) Real-world starting point This module is built around a single incident: a slow checkout flow with no single obvious cause, traced end to end using exactly these three tools together.
2 Platform Engineering & Internal Developer Platforms 1.5 wks ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. What Platform Engineering Is & Why It Emerged The shift from "every team owns its own DevOps" to a platform team that removes that burden at scale.
2. Building a Self-Service Internal Developer Platform (IDP) with Backstage Giving developers a service catalog and self-service actions instead of a ticket queue.
3. Golden Paths Designing an opinionated, supported default way to ship a service so most teams never need to reinvent their own pipeline.
4. Developer Experience (DevEx) Metrics Measuring whether a platform is actually helping developers ship faster, not just whether it exists.
4.1) Why this module exists Platform engineering is one of the fastest-growing DevOps-adjacent roles going into 2026, and almost no competing catalogue teaches it as its own discipline rather than a Kubernetes footnote.
3 DevSecOps & Security 1.5 wks ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. Shifting Security Left Building security checks into the pipeline itself instead of a separate audit after the fact.
2. Container & Image Scanning Catching vulnerable dependencies and misconfigured images before they reach a running cluster.
3. Secrets Management with Vault Issuing, rotating and revoking credentials dynamically instead of storing long-lived secrets in config files.
4. Policy as Code with OPA & Kyverno Enforcing "no pod may run as root" and similar rules automatically, cluster-wide, instead of by code review.
5. Supply-Chain Security Basics Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation and why knowing exactly what's inside an image matters after a dependency gets compromised.
5.1) Why this module exists Security is treated as core DevOps practice here, not an add-on chapter — the questions interviewers now ask about pipeline and cluster security assume this is baseline knowledge.
4 AI-Augmented SRE & Platform Engineering 1 wk ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. AI Coding Assistants for IaC & Kubernetes Manifests Drafting Terraform and YAML faster, then reviewing the output like a senior engineer would review a junior's PR.
2. AI-Assisted Incident Response & Root-Cause Analysis (AIOps) Correlating logs, metrics and traces with AI to get to a root-cause hypothesis faster during an active incident.
3. Where AI Still Needs a Human SRE's Judgement Hallucinated remediation steps, AI confidently misreading a cascading failure, and why the human stays the one who approves the fix during an incident.
3.1) Where AI gets it wrong An AI assistant can suggest a plausible-looking rollback that makes an incident worse; this module is built around catching that before it's applied, the same discipline taught across every Fourcup AI-augmented module.
5 Comprehensive Interview Preparation & Career Launch 0.5 wk ▾
TopicWhat You'll Learn
1. DevOps/SRE/Platform Engineer Interview Question Bank Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC and observability questions asked in real interviews, reviewed and explained.

1. DevOps/SRE/Platform Engineer Interview Question Bank Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC and observability questions asked in real interviews, reviewed and explained.
2. Resume & LinkedIn Building for DevOps/SRE/Platform Roles Framing infrastructure and reliability work the way a hiring manager actually scans a resume.
3. Live Mock Interviews with Feedback Recorded, one-on-one mock interviews with a working DevOps/SRE engineer, with specific, actionable feedback.
4. "Debug This Production Incident Live" Round Practising the exact live-troubleshooting question that separates candidates who've memorized commands from those who can actually reason under pressure.
5. Salary Negotiation & Offer Evaluation Reading an offer letter and negotiating from an informed position.
6. Placement Assistance Referrals and interview opportunities where available, resume review, and continued mentor access after the course ends. Placement assistance is support, not a guarantee of a job or a specific salary — see full terms.
7. 🚀 Final Mock Interview A full-length, role-realistic DevOps/SRE/Platform Engineer interview, end to end.
